Don't most computers have them installed in their system by default anyway? There are many free fonts available at FontSquirrel that are ready for use on the web via @font-face.

Georgia, yes. Helvetica, no - that's a mac font which isn't installed on Windows by default.

Be darned. So are all those people who complain about Helvetic Mac users? :lol:

I'm sure there are plenty of free look-alikes that are free and ready for web usage.

When using custom fonts. Do i need to install it or just use @font-face in order to apply the custom fonts. For example Quicksand.otf

You need to put the fonts in a folder somewhere on your server and reference them via CSS. @font-face is useful for when you are using a font that most users are not likely to have on their system. If you don't actually provide the font file, @font-face will be useless, as the font it references won't be available.

Is there a way to convert otf fonts to ttf? I have found out that google chrome does not support extensions .otf

I can't seem to apply to font i like to google chrome. Here is the code

and click the blue "Download @font-face Kit" button. That will give you all the files and CSS you need. You need various versions of the font for it to work in each browser, and they all come in that font kit, along with the CSS you need. It couldn't be easier.
